My Walker

It's official, Ella is a walker. Of course she still does a lot of crawling but at what point to you officially declare them walking. Well, after waiting 21 months I decide today!! I'm so proud of her!! She walks much better without her shoes and braces, interesting huh? Here is my best attempt at catching her on video walking. I know it's dark and shaky but it's all I got. My grandparents and parents got in on Monday night so that will explain the crowd in the living room! The last part of the video just shows Ella being her naughty little self!! Enjoy. PS not sure about the sizing of the video. No time to mess with it now, you can still see most of it, I'll try to fix later!! PSS, Ok so apparently it starts out muted but you can press the volume button on the bottom left if you want to hear my annoying voice trying to get Ella to perform : )

WAY TO GO MISSY!!!!! We are soooo proud of you! I could watch the video over and over again!! We miss you all soooo much! Shaylin said "Wow Ella is a big girl now!" I loved hearing and seeing Hunter too! He is such a good boy! She sure is a character now! I love all the expressions she has! She says so much with just her face, look out once she starts talking--she is going to be a chatterbox! Brendan says "Good job Ella keep it up!" I love how resourceful she is to get what she wants by putting the chair next to the couch to get up!! Ha! Boy you are in for it now!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the video! Cant wait to see ya's! We love you all bunches--Aunt Tami and family

Down Syndrome Creed

My face may be different,but my feelings the same.I laugh and I cryand take pride in my gains.I was sent here among you to teach and to loveas God in the heavenslooks down from above.To Him I'm no different,His love knows no bounds;It's those here among you, in cities and townsthat judge me by standardsthat man has imparted,but this family I've choosenwill help me get started.For I'm one of the children,so special so few,that came here to learnthe same lessons as you.That love is acceptance, it must come from the heart;we all have the same purpose,though not the same start.The Lord gave me lifeto live and embrace,and I'll do it as you do,but at my own pace.-Unknown
